In simple terms-

A company's (or stock's) worth to a buyer can be judged by how cheap or expensive it is.
PE ratio if high, means more people value the stock more than its earnings. For example, stock price for Bling is 20 and its earning per share is 2, then the PE is 10. This means people are paying less money for the earnings. However, if the price was 40 and the earning per share still 2, then the PE would be 20, meaning people are paying more money for less earnings.

Basically PE gives you the valuation of the stock.

To calculate PE you need to know the earnings (dividends) of a stock and its price. Divide the price by the earnings (or dividend value) and Voila, you have PE.

You can save yourself a lot of trouble doing all that math if you try yahoo. They are pretty good, you know.

I know P/E are compared sector wise....... some sectors have inherently low P/E while others have high.

but form the expaination above, to a beginner like me it seem like ....... If I want to buy shares of x and y companies ( same sector) I sud go for shares with low P/E value???

Hi Vinuvt, if you are looking at estimating EPS growth rate for any particular company, look at its past EPS growth rate or BVPS growth rate for guidance. You can get EPS and BVPS info for past few years online from which you can arrive at their past growth rates. For sectors that are visible, like software, you do get analysts prediction of Estimated EPS growth rates for the next 5 years. Just do an online search for it. Hope this helps.
